'gored by Captain LAWS, seconded by Mr.. PRICE, and resolved unanimously, That the Report now read be adopted. and that the same be printed and circulated amongst the Proprietors. Moved by Mr. S.

Me dveti by Mr. BARER, Seconded by Mr. NARSON THOMPSON, and resolved u nan i mously, That th e th anks of this Meeting be g his abl e an d impartial conduct in the Chair.iven to the Ch a i rman, for REPORT. In again meeting the Proprietors of this undertaking the Direc tors feel themselves in a situation to congratulate them on the im- Rreoved position of the Company. At the last Half -yearly Meeting, th y had to account for delays which had taken place in the prose cution of the Works. They have now the more agreeable duty of communicating the progress which has been made in the under taking. In p urs uance of the expressed wishes of the Shareholders that the Works should be proceeded with as rapidly as possible, your Direc tors called upon their Engineer for a detail of the course he would recommend to be pursued. His report was unanimously adopted, and in pursuance of its suggestions, a plan was laid down, and is now in steady operation, whereby without neglecting the heavier Po ur of the Works in the neighbourhood of Birmingham, the tasier a n d less expensive pa r t o f t h e li ne connecting Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, 'Worcester, and Droitwich, has been placed in such course of construction as to ensure its being opened to the Public within ei ghteen months f rom t h e Ist of January last, while the operthig of the entire ame peri line may be safely ca l cu l ate d upon within three y ears from the s. The Contracts have been taken on terms advantageous to the Company, and leave no doubt whatever, in the opinion of the Engi- , 550 er, that the subscribed Capital aof 950,000/. will be fully suf.. , ficient to complete the undertaking. The total quantity of land required for the Railway is nearly 500 Ucres, of which the whole has been agreed for, with the exception of 72 acres. Negotiations are now in progress for this, and it will be secured within the time allowed by Parliament. It may be requisite in some of the cases to call out juries ; for, whilst your Directors have invariably endeavoured to offer a fair and full value for the land required, they should think themselves wanting in their duty to the Proprietors if they submitted to some demands which have been made upon them, without resorting to that tribunal. With regard to the portion of the line between Cheltenham and Gloucester, it rill be in the recollection of the Shareholders that an agreero.ent was made in Parliament with the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway Company, by which that Company jwere to make that part of the line for the joint benefit, and at the oint tost, of the two Companies. Your Directors had expected ttat the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway Company d'could ere this have proceeded in the performance of the object ; ot e reg re t to say that up to the present time nothing has been e The time allowed that Company for purchasing land expires in ihige next, and they are now applying to Parliament for an exten sion of the time. To prevent further disappointment, adder en sure the completion of this part of the Railway within ned Period, and to carry out the spirit of the original understanding between the two Companies, your Directors have applied for the insertion, in the proposed Bill of the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway Company, of such clauses as they think necessary for the protection of your interests ; and although they would deprecate, on general principles, any Parliamentary con tests, they consider this matter to be so important that they do not shrink from the responsibility of advising a decided opposition in Parliament, should the claims of this Company bo disregarded by the Directors of the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Rail- Lon y Wa on has very any. Yo cons ur iderably increads Directors fining and desirou s o f a ff ordin g ed, facility t o t h e P ublic, have decided upon establishing an Office thereg for the reception of Transfers; and their arrangements have so far proceeded that they contemplate the opening of the Office in the hoarse of the present mouth. In conclusion, your Directors feel that they may congratulate the Proprietors upon the very satisfactory state of the finances of the C ohipany. By the balance-sheet appended to this Report, it will onpear that on the first and second calls, amounting to 71,250/., t) rdy 6,947/.remained unpaid on the 31st December last since which period that amount has been reduced to about 6,500/., ; and On the call of 21. 10s. due on the Ist of this present month, and it fa ti nting am ou to 23,750/., th e sum of 12,313/. has been already paid ; cwhich your Directors have much pleasure in stating, as evi dencing the unabated and increasing confidence of the public in this undertaking.

The thieves immediately handed it over to a little boy who accompanied them, and who darted up Shire-lane with it. Two of the City Police who had been watching their movements lost no time in giving chase, and while one of them secured the boy, the other seized the two thieves, and forced them into the shop of Messrs. Butterworth and Co., law-sta tioners, near the Temple, where assistance having been ob tained, they were handcuffed and taken off to the watchhouse. They are said to be well-known characters, and have fre quently figured at the police offices. HEATING 'WA REHO us Es. getting i nto This invention is general use.

SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS. The above Association of native artists has already advanced to its fetifth season. It was established for the purpose of, in p asogmalehsnit the large e et i l l a ifi b u li x isg the E of roreigi e l g t l a i l s e h professor ntb)iNhich this bear iscount t r i c has been actually inundated of late years, and which, it is to lie regretted, is patronised by our grandees, very nearly to the excleslon Of every production of British growth. We are glad to find that its effeete hitherto have been of a most beneficial tendency ; and although it is by no means to be expected— neither, indeed, is it to be desired—that foreign abill!.y should be driven from our shores, and foreign compositions excLided from study and performance, through the medium of this or any other institution or combination, still the establish ment of a purely native school is a theme for congratula tion, and its support a duty we owe to ourselves. Last night the third concert for the present season took place, at the Hanover square Rooms. A large body of the sub scribers and their friends were present, and although the room was not actually crowded, the interest taken in the matter, and the attraction of a purely English concert, were visible in the large body of amateurs "present. The concert opened with a new Symphony by Mr. Cipriani Potter. This gentle man has written a very considerable quantity of music, has evinced more industry perhaps than any other English musi cian in existence, and yet has not raised for himself a name of tiny very considerable en - iinence. ii seems to be because with all his assiduity and all his musical knowledge, one prime ingredient appears to be wanting, viz., genius. The Sym phony of last night, however, was a very ingenious, in parts, a very striking composition. It went off extremely well. The next piece, a " Round," called " The Switzer's Welcome," for three voices, by G. A. Macfarren, was rather a tame affair. A canzonet, by Mr. Sterndall Bennett, "In radiant loveliness," was very prettily sung- by Miss 'Dolby, a promising young lady, who bids fair to be an accomplished singer. A sestet, the composition of Mr. J. H. Gricsbach, for pianoforte, two violins, tenor, violoncello, and double bass, evinced a vast deal of ambition on the part of the composer, but the effect was not commensurate with its design, and the labour that had evidently b een b es t owe d upon thel composition. A scene of Mr. J. Barnett, " The fulness of thy presence," was remarkably well sung by Mr. Leoni Lee, and gave great satisfaction. The first part of the concert, which was rather heavy, chiefly from the compositions being almost all written in minor keys, con cluded with a noisy attempt at an overture, by Mr. Lovell illobfia:elri thingst n o i p ' n s s' o ov f e to r h T f t , u h t r e th e a el te second onetvveoiolfinitll heg p o ; araßt7nl British t Juliet . isi hsi opened cparl 0c fu w el s i a t sit h ote rds wasltor who would eA decidedly. M theae - pear from this sp ec i men mere l y to want adequate stimulus-1-1 which being translated, means adcquated remuneration—to place them in a much more commanding position than they occupy at present. This overture was greeted with most en thusiastic applause, and honoured most deservedly with an unanimous encore. We ought to mention that the splendid effect of the trombones, in the " Dead March," from the ad mirable mode in which they were introduced by the composer, and the very beautiful style in which they were played by the members of that department of the orchestra, contributed materially to the success of the overture. The remaining pieces of the second Part were, a Canzo net, by J. .T. Jones, Muc. Bac. ; a Cantata, by H. Westrop ; a violin solo by E. W. Thomas; Atwood's beautiful air, " Dear is the hallowed Morn," charmingly sung by Miss Dolby; a quartet, " Benedictus," by Lovell Phillips, and an overture by L. H. Lavenu. The Cantata was re markably well sung by Mr. C. Purday, a gentleman who pos sesses a remarkably good voice, and who has evinced a very considerable share of industry in its cultivation, but who is not, we are sorry to observe, so much before the public as he ought to be. Mr. Thomas's violin solo was toe much ala Paganini to please us. Why will not clever people depend upon their own capabilities, in preference to becoming mere imitators ? Of the other compositions it is scarcely necessary to speak ; indeed, there was nothing connected with them sufficiently striking, either in respect to beauty or demerit, that called for remark. The band, consisting of about se venty performers, was ably led by Mr. Dando, and Mr. W. Sterndall Bennett presided as conductor. The next concert of the Society is fixed for Monday, February IJ. Chairman of the Church-rate Abolition Delegates, who as sembled at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, London, Feb. 1, 1637. Dear Sir—To-day a year has passed away since you pre sided at the above meeting, when 340 Gentlemen from various parts of the kingdom were sent to demand of the Minister of the Crown the immediate and entire abolition of Church-rates. It was then admitted that the• time was come when it was proper to remove this grievous oppression, which had so long been the cause of discontent to many who have conscientious objections to the discipline of the Church of England, and others who deny that any system of religious profession ought to be endowed, and connected with the State. The Delegates were, by Lord Melbourne, received with courtesy ; but it was obvious to most of them, that in the Mi nister, there was a degree of indifference to the subject which, on their return to the Crown and Anchor, induced them to pass resolutions, unanimously pledging themselves to persist in vigorous resistance to the impost, until it should be abolished. In March the Ministerial plan was developed in the House of Commas, and it was apparent there was no intention on the part of the Government then to carry it into operation ; the mover (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) continually re peating, that he desired it might be clearly understood, there was no wish on the part of the Government to hurry the mea sure; that they desired ample time might be given for consi deration, while lie own©d the present law, in populous dis tricts, was wholly unavailing ; and instanced the impossibility of collecting the rate in Sheffield and Manchester, where it had ceased to be enforced. As the debate proceeded, the intention to extinguish for the Session, as quietly as possible, the hopes of the Dissenters on the subject became obvious ; and on the division taking place, some of the firmest friends of the Government either voted against them or were absent; two or three instances may suffice to confirm this fact :—Sir John Wrottesley, and Mr. Ridley Colborne, voted against Ministers, and Sir W. Foulkes left London. It is remarkable that these Gentlemen were not returned to the present Parliament, and while I do not know enough of of the districts formerly represented by the two first named Gentlemen to judge of the causes of their dismissal of my own knowledge, I believe I could name as many right minded men in West Norfolk, Ivho refused to vote, from mere vexation at Sir W. Foulkes's conduct, as would have secured him his election. I am compelled, with sorrow; to own I have never seen any thing in the c on d uct o f t h e present A dm i n i stration which ought to justify the belief that there has ever been any serious intention to relieve us from this great oppression. When, in May 1835, my petition from Ipswich goal was presented to the House of Commons, I was surprised, and grieved, to see what I believed to be the insincerity which characterized the speeches of the Ministers who took part in that debate. What passed is on record in the Mirror qf Par liament, and reading it now, no person could be deceived by it. In April 1836, when Mr. Russell, of Edinburgh, was in prison for his conscientious scruples relative to the annuity tax, I mentioned to him, in a letter, that I believed the Minis ters had no intention nor disposition to abolish the existing law, for, to my mind, all that they had said and done indicated a different spirit. If any doubt, however, had remained on my mind, it must have been removed in July 1836, when Mr. Morrison, the then Member for Ipswich, assured me he had told Lord John Russell there would be great excitement on the Church Rate subject, and that his Lordship replied he believed there would be for a short time ; but he should get it put upon the Consolidated Fund, it would be but once, would soon be over, and all would be tranquil in that quarter again. Contrary to my opinion, there were many excellent persons last year, who believed the Ministers were sincere in a desire to relieve them from this burden, and thought while they were exercising the conscientious conviction of their own minds, they were also furthering the wishes of the Government. They remained passive under the operation of the law, quietly making no resistance, but never offering voluntary obedience, and they will continue so to act. In the month of June last year (1837), I took an opportu nity of informing the Government of this fact, when, in reply, the Chancellor of the Exchequer protested against the doc trine, declaring that the whole spirit of the British Constitu tion appeared to him to exact not only passive obedience, but even active co-operation with the law, whatever individual opinion might be entertained as to the expediency of an alte ration ; adding, he felt convinced that the arguments adduced in favour of any change would then lose, and deserve to lose, their weight with the people of this country, when that advo cacy is accompanied by any indifference to the authority of the enactments at present in force ! Since these things transpired, the Churchwardens of Brain tree have made a Church Rate, not merely without the con sent of a Vestry, but in direct opposition to a large majority against it ; they hare cited Mr. But der, a gentleman of respecta bility, into the Ecclesiastical Courts, for refusing to pay, and, at an enormous expense, he is about to have the subject argued in the Courts of Law. If it shall be decided that the Church warden's proceedings are clothed with " the authority of the enactments at present in force," will the Dissenters of Eng land subscribe to the doctrine of the Chancellor of the Exche quer? I think they will not. I believe they do not at present. At the celebrated conference at Hampton Court in 1603, when Dr. Reynolds on behalf of the Puritans urged the ne cessity of sincerely ministering Church Goveniment according to God's word, King James, among other insults, told them, if this be all they have to say, I shall make them conform themselves, or I will harry them out of this land, or else do worse." Oliver Goldsmith has said, customs may vary, and manners may change, but true politeness is every where the same : sub stitute the word oppression for politeness and you have another fact of equal truth.

I know many persons, the excellent of the earth, -who, will never render any other than passive obedience to the law , as it exists at present—a law which enables a math to consign his neighbours to prison for an indefinite period, without the consent of a jury, or take from them property of more than ten times the value of the rate denianded, and then to keep it until it is spoiled, without making a sale, or rendering tO7 - ty ac el.,unt. Six of my n e i g hb our s, re s p ec t a bl e as an y mex it' the country, had their property seized for Church-rates on the sth of last Jul' v—that property remains unsold to the prese:it day, and one c ase .7'a.Y show the injustice of the whole. Four' bushels of corn, with tt7"9 sa,.ll's, of the intrinsic marketable value of 225. 6d., was seized .c . or a rate of Is. 9d. I ant told the corn is spoiled, but certain ii is no sale has been made, nor account of sale rendered to any of the parties, while another rate h as b een o b ta i ne d, an d m o t : c seizures may be looked for. . The question which arises in the face of all th.s injustice is, shall these things continue to be perpetrated with itpuuniy ira all parts of the cou n t r y, except t h e l arge towns and districts. populous My purpose in addressing you on the anniversary' )f the Meeting of Delegates, is to suggest personally to the genllc men who attended that meeting, and to the Dissenters gene-- rally, whether they ought to permit this state of things to re— main—if they do, they mzky . depend upon 'it the Ministers will never alter it, and we who live in country places may make up our minds to be " harried out of the land, or what is worse ;" for the discord and strife, which is woi:se, increase from year to year, and will continue to do so, until ti:e unjust proceedings shall have broken all the ties of affection anti kindness among the people. If some person of known integrity in London Were now to give the signal, the Dissenters would again meet, ,Vain send delegates, and in double numbers, with fourfold energy again demand the total abolition of a law which creates, every possible evil by which society can be distracted. I am, dear Sir, yours, obediently, JOHN CHILDS. Bungay, Feb. 1, 1838. LORD BROUGHAM AND THE MINISTRY. _ . We will not affirm that the foflowing,Prefaee to Lord Brougham's speech upon the CaNada question— now published by Ridgway--was wri:ten by the Noble and Learned Lord himself . ; but we ,skre certain that it fully expresses his Lordship's sentiments upon the differences between him and her Majesty's I\ll.lllis ters. To coin:nein upon what is in itself an explai:ka tion of the cause of the apparent discrepancy between` Lord Brougham's former support of, and present op position to, the policy of the Melbourne Cabinet, would imply a want of clearness in the subjoined statement, and therefore we shall attempt nothing of the sort. We need hardly add, that our object in publishing the Preface is to right the balance between both parties—the Misters and their Noble and Learned opponent : It has been considered right by many of the friends of peace and of liberal policy, to publish this Speech separately, chiefly in order that the attention of men may bi dieected to the im portant questions connected with the future het of the North American Colonies, when the ferment excited by We unhappy events shall subside. The whole history of these trat:'sactions is calculated to throw light upon the inevitable mischiefs of extended Colonial empire ; and there is a further argument of the same kind derivable from the unquestionable fact, that ies even the Reformed Parliament the misgovernment of a remote and unrepresented Province, has encountered but very little opposition from many of those who are always found most re luctant to suffer the least oppression if attempted upon stay portion of the Mother Country. The comments which this Speech contains upon the conduct of the Government have been complained of—as if Lord Brougham had some duty to perform of suppressing his opi nions upon the most importont questions that can occupy the attention of Statesmen ; and as if especially the Colonial Mi nister had a right to complain of strictures openly made upon his public conduct. It is, however, well known that Lord Brougham never showed any disposition to censure the present Government until they adopted a course wholly at variance with his often times recorded opinions. As long as he could support them, the history of Parliament shows that lie rendered them every assistance in his power ; nor did he ever while in office exert: himself more or spare himself less than in their defence in 1835, and in carrying through the House of Lords the great measure of Municipal Reform. In the Summer of 1836, he refrained from all complaint when he saw his measures for preventing pluralities and non-residence abandoned, and a Bill introduced upon opposite principles. hi 1837, he conti nued to lend them support on all but one or two occasions, when it was impossible to approve their conduct ; and on the Canada Resolutions especially, last May, he was compelled to oppose them..--a duty which he performed with manifest reluc tance. He had during that Session, 183 7, expressed his opi nions upon the necessity of altering the Reform Bill he essen tial particulars, and especially of extending the Elective _Fran chise. The present Session was unhappily opened with a declaration on the part of the Government as a body, that they tools a view wholly different from that of most' Reformers ; indeed, of the great body of the Liberal party throughout the country. .Ta this has been added their support of a policy by which the rights of the subject are invaded, and the maintenance of peaee itself put in jeopardy. They who complain of Lord 13rougham--(tho Ministers them selves are assuredly not of the number)—for adhering to his declared opinions, are respectfully requested to assign any reason why he should abandon his own principles—tluese which he has maintained, without the least deviation, through Out his whole life—merely that he may support the Ministers sslus have most conscientiously no doubt, though for the country most unfortunately, seen fit to adopt other views.. Thus much as to the claims of the Government at large, not only to fornt new opinions, and follow an altered course, but to carry along with them others whom their reasonings have wholly failed to convince, Now, as to the Colonial Secretary, the party whose conduct is principally involved in the question of Ministerial respoisi bility for the present state of the North American Provinces, —it is well known that Lord Brougham never skewed any backwardness in coming down to his defence when be ob served him unjustly attacked. No ono can be better aware of this than the Noble Lord himself; with wi:ora, however, it is understood that Lord Brougham never has; any intercourse save that of an official nature while a Member of the same Go vernment. But they who complain on the Noble qiretary's behalf (he himself, assuredly, is not of the number), b:re re spectfully requested to assign any reason why full licee2eo having been always allowed him, and some of his principal Colleagues, to form their own opinions—with them to oppose Parliamentary Reform up to Ist M crop, 1831—to defend the Manchester Massaerc—to support the Six Acts—to remove Lord Fitzwilliam from office fc.r nttending a Parliamentary Reform Meeting at York—to oppose Lord Brougham's motion on the case of Smith the Missionary--why, those Noble Persons having without any blame whatever ly:cri Suffered formerly to hold such courses—and having, so liapOy for the • country, and so honourably for themselves, adopted a din",:. rent line of po licy from Nov. 1 830 to Nov. 1837, Lord Br o ugham le should be complained of, fur continuing since Nov. 1k337 to abitl!' by the very same principles which he had not taken up for than first time in 1830, but held in all former times? It is respect fully asked what right they who now complain of Lord Brougham for differing from the Noble Secretary of State, have to expect that he should rather diff.er front his former self, par takeabnndoofnthossiatedoenyvoictitoionntso t t h h a e t ca h u a s v e e of c f than from hi s f ormer co ll eague ; an d w hil e yet una bl e to o r m e e e d over and (' 1 1' e c f r eace, s e l c ' , u t l o cl which his public life had been consecrated ? The accident of members of a party feeling themselves under the necessity of opposing, upon some great occasion, those with whom it is their general wish to act, although unfortunate, is by no means unprecedented. Wlrn, in consequence of their friends being in office, almost all the Whigs, were found, during twelve months of the last war to relax in their desire of peace, retrenchment and reform, Mr. Whitbread—a name never to be pronounced without reverence and affection by Englishmen—alone opposed the measures of the administra tion, that he might adhere to his principles. In 1820, Lord Brougham declared in his place that he stood wholly aloof from his party, on all that related to the case of the late Queen, because there appeared a danger of her interests being, without any blame, sacrificed to other, possibly more important, considerations. There seems no good reason why he should not pursue the same course, when it is understood that he now very sincerely, though perhaps quite erroneously, believes a like sacrifice is made of principles, incomparably more important—the most sacred principles which used to bind the Liberal party together ; and when so many men are firmly persuaded that, but for the accident of the party being in office, they would have joined in pursuing the same course .which Mr. Fox and Mr. Burke followed with such signal glory in the former American war. It - is probable, that Lord Brougham, in choosing to con tinue in that course, has had little fear of thereby impairing the strength of the present Government—that may be greater or it may be less ; but there can be very little chance of any diminution befalling it, while its party supporters, be they more or less numerous, both in Parliament and in the country more especially in many of the Corporations —appear to be so firmly held together by the conmicn principle which guides their conduct. That principle is one in some respects well grounded, and forms indeed the foundation of r.il party cunnexiims. When not pushed too far, it 'is justifiable and it is useful, It teaches men to overlook minor differences of opinion, for the purpose of effecting common objects of superior importance and warns them a ga i ns t t h e f ata l error so we ll described by Mr. Fox, of giving up all to an enemy r . a s t a li p er ti t i l e tai f i o a u : d t: tt i i r oign to a friend. It is, however, equally manifest, that the abuse of this doctrine may lead to a justifica sa tl yt o .o n b o: t h l o ie pc v d er t y ba w totrisiet misconduct—may be used as a cover for the most sordid sof peculations of public privateprinciple whatever.intcrcst an l d t party zeal of those above referred to, may not lead th em t o such excesses.
